Cookies are a widespread technology essential for the smooth operation of many websites. A cookie is a small text file which saves a website in the browser folder on your computer.

StockFood uses cookies to recognise your computer after registration and to automatically provide you with the privileges of a registered user on future access. Thanks to cookies you can continue to work easily on the website once you have logged on without having to repeat the process each time you visit a new page. Cookies allow StockFood to track which pages were called up and which series of commands were given by an individual visiting our website. This in turn allows us to design our website in a more user-friendly way and to develop it sensibly.

StockFood does not use cookies to investigate your behavior either before or after you visit our website. A cookie does not provide us with any personally identifying information about you so long as you have not provided this upon registration or have set your browser to pass on such information.

Security of your personal details

The security of your personal details is important to us. Your personal details are protected via the use of generally recognised industrial standards. This means that confidential information such as your credit card number is encrypted using SSL technology. However, there is no internet transfer method or electronic saving procedure that provides complete security.

If your account and personal details are protected with a password, it is up to you to keep the password confidential.

E-mail recommendations

If you wish to notify your friends via e-mail about our products and service (e.g. images in your light box, advertising promotions, new websites, job offers etc) you will be required to enter your friend(’s) name and the e-mail address. Your friend(s) will then receive a one-off e-mail from us inviting them to visit our website where they will be able to see the product or service your recommended. We reserve the right to transfer this function to an external provider who will only use the details you provide to send the e-mail. Neither StockFood nor the external provider will save the details once the e-mail has been sent.
